<br />I <br />I hockey season, the league could be shifted to the new facility. These hours are included in <br /> the Columbia Arena usage. MASC feels that there is demand for additional spring leagues <br />Ie and will commit to use 480 hours of spring time for this purpose. <br /> MASC feels that between hockey league and tournament scheduling it can commit to an <br /> additional 900 hours of time during the fall season. <br />I Indoor Soccer. The hours shown for indoor soccer in the spring season reflect the proposed <br /> additional programming by MASC of an expansion of its current soccer program into the spring <br />I season. The proposed season would run for 8 weeks and rely on a portion of the 180 teams <br /> in the current league participating. <br /> Summer Camps. Summer hockey camps are very successfully run out of other area arenas. <br />I Burnsville claims that its highest, most consistent demand for ice time is for day-time summer <br /> camps. For the proposed facility this would be a start-up program. Inquiries have already <br /> been received from Doug Woog and Herb Brooks. Full day scheduling for thirteen weeks <br />I would consume the projected 400 hours. <br /> Fiqure Skatinq. Figure skating programs need ice time all year around and have difficulty <br />I locating ice in the spring and summer when many arenas close. Area competitions that we <br /> were able to identify include a USFSA competition in May and additional competitions in <br /> February, March, June, September, November, and December. One area program indicated <br /> a current need for 350 to 400 hours of ice for practice and instruction, plus show time if <br />I available. Concerted development of a figure skating clientele has the potential to expand ice <br /> usage in the non-hockey season. <br />Ie Other Uses. Other uses such as open skating, learn to skate, short track speedskating, park <br /> and recreation programs, and roller hockey can be expected to consume additional time and <br /> are currently projected to demand 480 hours of ice time. We do not believe that these uses <br />I can be accurately projected, but do recognize that there is a demand from these sources. To <br /> the extent that demand does not materialize in the winter season, additional tournament <br /> scheduling could consume some of the 300 hours anticipated from these uses. To place the <br /> use in perspective, Columbia Arena had over 230 hours of use in these categories in 1995 <br />I over its shortened schedule. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />.e <br />I DRAFT REPORT 5/30/96 Page 6 <br />
